Oh my, some very nice rubber :wink:

That scheme helped an awful lot of people though...

Where is your car ATM? Is it sat on block of wood outside your house or actually got alloys with tyres on them?  :laugh:

Right test fitted my Passat splitter on my spare/scrap bumper.

I thort, ah I'll bit of cutting, screw it down 10 mins later boom, new splitter  :cool:

WRONG!!

Took me fecking ages  :angry:

I wanted to ke the bumper as intaked as possible so that I cout run oem splitters if I wanted/broke this one

Turns out only 4 of the taps that hold the splitter on line up with the bumper.

So after an hour of cutting swearing and forcing in place


 :cool:

The other side went a lot quicker as I just put the cut one on top of the new one and marked what had been cut

Comparasen




Here's a pic of how much I took off the bumper


And the pile left over




There's a bit of a gap on the drivers side as I kinda rushed that side, il do it a lot better on the bumper I'm using

Finally got it fitting, kinda





 :cool: what'd you think?

That looks ace, I am running a us spec'd vento bumper at the minute but thinking of going back to a us spec golf bumper so might try finding one of these.....not loving my vr splitter, makes my bumper look like a snow plough! Where did you buy it from?

It's a Passat b4 duckbill splitter ain't it? I'm guessing this was sourced from either the US or Germany?
